Privacy Impact Assessment

Privacy Impact Assessment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zgbrenner/agentcounsel. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured assessment of how a new or changed activity uses personal data, including its data flows, risks, and proposed safeguards. It creates a draft for privacy counsel to review.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document the data involved, compare the design with privacy commitments, assign mitigations, and prepare an internal privacy review.
Why use it?
It makes privacy risks visible before a product feature, vendor integration, or other processing activity is approved.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Privacy Impact Assessment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Privacy Impact Assessment

Purpose

Produce a structured, attorney-ready draft Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for a proposed or recently changed processing activity. The PIA documents what personal data is involved, how it flows, where the activity may diverge from the organization's stated privacy commitments, what risks are specific to the design, and what mitigations with assigned owners would reduce those risks. The output is a draft for privacy-counsel review and sign-off — not an approval of the processing activity, not legal advice, and not a determination that any assessment is legally required.

Whether a formal Privacy Impact Assessment or Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is legally mandated for a given activity — and under which framework — is a legal determination that must be resolved by privacy counsel. This skill supports the internal scoping and drafting process; it does not resolve that determination.

Use When

  • A product, engineering, or business team is launching a new feature, vendor integration, or processing activity that involves personal data, and an internal PIA is needed before sign-off.
  • An existing processing activity is being materially changed — expanded data categories, new access paths, new subprocessors, changed retention, or changed purpose — and the PIA must be updated.
  • Privacy counsel or a data-protection officer has asked for a PIA draft as an input to their review.
  • A procurement or legal-ops team needs a structured first-pass assessment before routing to privacy counsel.
  • Internal policy requires a PIA for new processing activities, and a structured draft is needed to initiate that workflow.

Required Inputs

  • Description of the processing activity: what the feature, system, vendor use, or change does in functional terms. If not provided, stop and request it.
  • Data categories: the specific fields or data elements involved — not generic labels like "user data" or "personal information." If only generic labels are provided, request specifics before proceeding.
  • Data subjects: who the personal data relates to (e.g., customers, employees, job applicants, minors, website visitors). If unknown, flag as [CONFIRM: data subjects].
  • Purpose of processing: the stated business or functional purpose for which the data is collected or reused.
  • New collection or reuse: whether this activity involves collecting data for the first time or reusing previously collected data for a new purpose.
  • Access: who within the organization, and which systems, can access the data; whether access is role-restricted.
  • Storage: where the data is stored (jurisdiction, cloud region, on-premises) and who controls the infrastructure.
  • Retention period: how long the data is kept and what triggers deletion or archival. If unknown, flag as [CONFIRM: retention period — [deadline verification required]].
  • Vendors and subprocessors: any third parties that receive, process, or store the data, or that provide infrastructure used to process it.
  • Failure modes: known or foreseeable failure scenarios — breach, unauthorized access, data loss, misuse, re-identification.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
